EURO-JOURNAL DAY 35 (ZADAR - SPLIT)

Since the hostel wasn't what we wanted, we decided to move on today. The French lads went north as they're going to the Outlook festival. It looked cool and they invited me. I was flatter that these twenty-year old kids considered this old man worthy of partying with them, but I fancied heading on towards Bosnia. We parted ways at the bus station with promises to meet up in Paris some day. I caught a bus to Split where I stayed in an overpriced, but centrally located hostel. Didn't like the feel of Split at all. Very dirty, though the architecture and coast are beautiful. Had some dinner by the water where I met a Japanese lad cycling around Europe. He said he's on a two-year, round the world trip. I said "awesome", but I didn't mean it. i think that's too long. It would be hard for me enjoy seeing so many awesome things all together. Better to have a break between trips. Go back to work, have some routine, do something boring and get excited about the next part. It would be hard to keep appreciating everything you see when it's a two-year trip. I'd rather do four 6-monthers with work in between. But everyone's different I guess.
Saw a lovely sunset over the water - the best of the trip so far.

Little market by the water.

Old town.
